Russia and Armenia have agreed to set up a commission that will
examine the feasibility of Armenia's integration into the Customs
Union and the Common Economic Area of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus,
Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters after his negotiations
with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan today.
Some customs instruments which Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus have
agreed upon could be applied to Armenia, bearing in mind the fact
that Armenia has no common border with Russia, Putin said.
Putin and Sargsyan also discussed the prospects of promoting
cooperation within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and
the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), and exchanged
their opinions on the progress of talks to resolve the conflict over
the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the Russian president said.
Sargsyan added that they discussed the price of Russian natural
gas supplies to Armenia and reached consensus on price formation
principles.
